Spurs Dominate at Home
The Spurs entered the game with a strong 31-14 record, establishing themselves as a serious contender. The Pelicans, struggling at 11-47, faced an uphill battle. The Spurs were heavy favorites, and they played like it. With a balanced offensive attack and stifling defense, they controlled the tempo from the tip-off.

Playoff Implications
